Pros

Great work hours, weekends off (unless during peak season), different positions to transfer to, great break area.

Cons

H.R. is unorganized, GM changes frequently for a new warehouse, a lot of illegal substance abuse goes on during breaks and lunch, very (clicky) environment, management knows little next to nothing about what goes on in their own dept. favoritism runs rampant at this company, pay is horrible for what is expected of you. As the old saying goes "It's a good place to visit not to stay".

Pros

-20% discount -med, dental, vision benefits -20-ish minimum hours per week -genuinely can be a fun store to work in when run well

Cons

-store managers have little to no oversight and cross professional boundaries often - hr is ineffective, document everything yourself, report to the EEOC -growth opportunities in the store are very limited and they will lowball you no matter what you do or sacrifice -crazy turnover because the expectations are unrealistic store managers lie about pay budget to everyone -more likely to hire teens and students because they are easier to take advantage of for little pay, only needs adult for when teens and students cannot work (night shifts, school days) - nearby stores, especially if in a strip mall or shopping center, like tj maxx have higher base pay, better benefits, better security, and more hour availability
